The Celestial was sure that they were not there! There was only that one replicate of them which he realized was a replica when he finally killed it, but he had made sure to check and scan the surrounding areas a lot.

And he was right, they were not there, they had gone to this dimensional space and left a replica with a big part of their soul as bait, while they moved to the outside world and trapped the Celestial there, thinking he had finally found them.

And while he slashed away their replica who hopelessly died, the fusion emerged behind him through the help of Aurora’s divinity and magic, teleporting behind him!

But what kind of power could allow them to teleport so silently behind his own back?

Well, that was the fabrication of two Daos specifically made for Aurora to support her powers, although she could not make a Dao yet as she had yet to reach a Supreme God Realm (although she was very close to it by now), as long as they fused with her, all their Daos could be shared!

So, they designed two Daos specifically made for her…

And these two Daos were…

“The Grand Dao of Voidspace and the Grand Dao of Concealment are truly a good combination when merged with Aurora’s Teleportation, isn’t it?” wondered Veronica’s voice as her thoughts resonated amidst the mindscape where all the fused souls’ minds were.

“I never thought you would make Daos specifically for me, but that works at our favor at the end…!” said Aurora with a defying smile.

These two Daos possessed incredible effects within them!

[Grand Dao of Voidspace: Assimilation Rate: 100%]

A Grand Dao with the ability to manipulate the Voidspace that exists within all creation. The wielder of this Dao acquires the power to better manipulate space and the void and be able to move across space and the void thousands of times faster in a mere split of a second. With a greater comprehension of space, void, and time, there are greater effects.

And…

[Grand Dao of Concealment: Assimilation Rate: 100%]

A Grand Dao that deals with the power of concealing. By utilizing it, the user is capable of concealing things, presences, and even items if the foe is not able to properly discern it in time with another Dao of a similar level. The more this effects is successful in fooling a target, the higher the chances are the fool it again.

With these two powerful Grand Daos, the fusion was capable of teleporting at incredible speeds that even the Celestial was incapable of discerning, and through the Grand Dao of Concealment, they were able to conceal their presences! When this was used alongside the Dao of Mirages, incredible effects were created!

“Unngh…! Y-You bastards…!”

However, the Celestial was not going to die out of just being stabbed in the chest, as an astral entity, he was more than capable of surviving it with ease and then attack back at full lighting speed, just as now!

“Don’t think that stabbing me in the chest will deal any damage to a superior entity such as myself!” The Celestial roared, twisting his body and letting the blade pierce through his insides without care, as he swung his gigantic golden blades and enormous slashes of golden soul energy began to befall over the fusion!

The fusion, however, defended as they employed their combined transcendental powers! An enormous hole in the middle of their chest emerged, as Ervas utilized the power of the Void within his soul, which had now become something utterly bizarre that he was able to control, an all-devouring Void!

This Void wouldn’t be able to be so strong, but with the power of the Daos he has, such as the Grand Dao of Destruction, Voidspace, and even Replication, he was able to replicate several void holes around his entire phantasmal body and devour his slashing attacks!

TRUUM! TRUUM! TRUUM…!

“W-What?! Impossible!” the Celestial was left speechless as he looked at what was occurring, these enormous void blackholes were devouring his attacks and absorbing their power, but this was also the effect of yet again another Dao and… something else?!

“M-My power is being drained?!” he asked in disbelief. “This can’t be…! SOUL STAR!”

FLAAAASH!

The Celestial desperately escaped from the blackholes attempting to devour him by unleashing an enormous sphere made of countless souls and infused with the Daos of Aether and Star within, bombing the fusion away!

BOOOM!!!

Although he managed to escape, suddenly, he felt as if his own ego broke down even more… he gritted his teeth at what had happened just now…! He was ridiculed, and he… he… escaped!

“I… I ran away?!” he thought to himself. “T-This…”

He, a being that had never tasted defeat, was now being overwhelmed by a dreadful sense of fear. His own ego was shattering into tiny bits with every passing second as he thought about what he had done, but deep inside he also knew that was the correct thing to do.

Because if he hadn’t done that… he would had probably…

Been lethally damaged.

“M-Me…? Running away…! This is…” muttered the Celestial to himself, although just a split of a second had passed since he flew away, his thoughts were incredibly fast.

“What’s wrong? Feeling scared of a lesser being like us?” asked Veronica’s voice. “Where is all your bravado at? Did you swallow it and decided to escape for your life?”

Veronica’s words were harsh and merciless, she hated Samsara’s entire family of abusive Gods, and deep down, she liked seeing the Celestial doubt his own strength.

However, it wasn’t as if they had the fight already won or something, the fusion was struggling even more than the Celestial, their souls had been damaged several times already and to create those realistic replicas, they also had to cut down their soul to make them more “Real”.

Because of this, through the entire battle, they had been growing weaker and weaker…

They had to finish this off quickly, or else… they would be the ones biting the dust.
